Man Eaters Safari Camp in Tsavo East National Park Kenya
During the construction of the Railway Bridge over the Tsavo River in 1898 by the British for what was then known as the Uganda Railway, approximately 140 workers were killed by two mane-less male lions, over a period of 3 months.
After repeated unsuccessful endeavors, the first lion was finally killed on 9th December 1898 during a night hunt, and the second three weeks later during a morning hunt which almost cost Paterson his life.
The original site where these events took place is where today’s Man Easters Camp Is located; the site’s history goes all the way back to colonial days of old, during the construction of the Tsavo Bridge.
The chief engineer of the bridge was John Paterson, who became a local hero for killing the infamous Man Eaters of Tsavo, news of the event even reached the House of Lords and Parliament during the tenure of Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury. ith prayers of thanks.
